Griff Collaborates with Coldplay's Chris Martin on the Ballad 'Astronaut'

Emerging music sensation Griff has released a new track titled 'Astronaut,' which concludes her project Vert1go Vol. 1. The song is a heartfelt ballad that showcases piano accompaniment by Chris Martin of Coldplay, adding to the emotional depth of the piece. This collaboration stemmed from their mutual respect, which flourished when Griff served as a supporting act for Coldplay on tour.

Behind The Music

Chris Martin was deeply involved in the song's development. After listening to a collection of Griff's work, Martin was particularly drawn to 'Astronaut' and recommended a more minimalist approach. Griff seized the opportunity to ask Martin to lend his piano skills to the track, an invitation he graciously accepted, bringing a signature elegance to the ballad.

Themes of 'Astronaut'

Lyrically, 'Astronaut' delves into the familiar territory of love and loss, addressing the pain of separation in young relationships. Griff has articulated that the song captures the emotional turmoil of being left behind and questioning one's self-worth in the eyes of another.

A Glimpse Into The Live Experience

Accompanying the release of 'Astronaut,' Griff has shared a live performance video filmed at the historic London's Greenwich Maritime Museum, offering fans a raw and powerful rendition of the song.

Upcoming Live Performances

Griff is set to embark on a tour, providing fans with an opportunity to experience her music in person. Highlighting her growing popularity, she will headline The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles on February 6, and then move on to New York's Le Poisson Rouge on February 9, 2024. A European tour is also on the books, signaling a busy and exciting year for the artist.
